Reception and legacy The album brought a number of hit songs: ironic love songs such as "Draga ne budi peder", "U dva će čistači odneti đubre", "Dobro jutro" plus political and satirical songs "Slušaj sine, obriši sline", "Kako je lepo biti glup" (inspired by Đorđević's service in Yugoslav People's Army), "Pravila, pravila", "Kad ti se na glavu sruši čitav svet" and "Ja ratujem sam". It sold more than 250,000 copies, which was less than expected, considering the sales of previous records.
The songs "U dva će čistači odneti đubre", "Kad ti se na glavu sruši čitav svet", "Ja ratujem sam", "Pravila, pravila", "Kako je lepo biti glup" and "Dobro jutro" appeared in Mića Milošević's 1982 movie A Tight Spot.
